Jeff Lynne — When I Was A Boy

C           Em           Am C  
When I was a Boy I had a Dream 
 F             Am              Dm  F  
All about the things I’d like to be 
 G  
Soon as I was in my Bed 
 F              G          Em  
Music played inside my Head 
              G            C  
When I was a Boy I had a Dream 
 
 C           Em                Am  C  
When I was a Boy I learnt to play 
 F            Am              Dm  F  
Far into the Night and Drift away 
 G  
Don’t wanna work on the Milk or the Bread 
 F                     G       Em  
Just wanna play my Guitar instead 
              G             C  
When I was a Boy I had a Dream 
 
     C    Em   Am  G  
And Ra - dio Waves 
         F    A7   Dm  
Kept me com – pa - ny

In those beau - tiful days 
            F   A7   Dm  
When there was no money

 G  
Don’t wan’t a job 'cause it drives me crazy 
 F                       G            Em  
Just wanna sing “Do you love me, baby?”
